His Eyes Were Dark

Sus Ojos Eran Oscuros

His Eyes Were Dark

En la sombra de rocas negrasIn the shadow of black rocks
Bajo el saliente de raíces y nidos de serpientesUnder the overhang of roots and snakes' nests
Allí solía sentarse y cantarThere He used to sit and sing
Él cantaba sus cancionesHe sang his songs
Que nadie entendía:Which nobody understood:

¿Era viejo cien, doscientos, trescientos años?He was old a hundred, two hundred, three hundred years?
Nadie lo sabía,Nobody knew it,
Quizás por miles de años ha estado en este mundo,Maybe for thousands of years he has been in this world,
Quizás por miles de años ha estado en este mundo:Maybe for thousands of years he has been in this world:

Sus ojos eran oscuros,His eyes were dark,
Pero era debido a la sabiduría y algo misterioso,But it was owing to wisdom and something mysterious,
Brillaban e lo penetraban todo,They sparkled and penetrated everything,
Cuando tocaba su instrumento,When He played on his instrument,
El cielo se oscurecía y el viento se calmaba.The sky grew dark and wind became silent.

Sobre llanuras pedregosas solo corre el vientoOver stony planes only wind runs
Y sombras misteriosas susurran sus historias,And mysterious shadows whisper their stories,
Muchas de ellas Él contaba en su rocaMany of them He told at His rock
Y yo las vivía todas con Él.And I lived them all with Him.
